[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 478455, member: 1384"] I have 2 pieces of 1/2" angle iron bolted together with washers and lock nut, so I can make angles and it will hold position. Makes it easy to check body lines and copy angles that you want to hit. I also use a digital angle finder to compare angles such as the angle of the roof vs the A pillar vs fender to calc bend angles. Worst case you mess up a bend and end up using it somewhere else as a filler. Don't over think it and it's a lot more fun. Oh, and don't try to make a single tube with over 2 bends. Much harder to keep accurate. In fact, I try to stick to one bend per tube... Makes fabbing much quicker and easier to me. Of course I only average one cage a year, so my tubing skills are amateur at best... Here's the one I just finished [IMG]http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/24/d79fae612c2c4121e7b2c10d7c85ee92.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
